Save Fertilizine Mnteriala-

The MORNING NEWS has frequently called
attention TO the Importance of saving all
materials about farm which viii mako
fertilizers. The Farm, Field and Stock1ndn
says that the farmer often wastes ia con-
signing to the roadside or other unavailable
places large amounts of fertilizing material.
Among these are bones, wood ashes, coal
ashes valuable principally as diyisor on
compact soil, kitchen slop, the contents Of
the prlvy, and especially the ammoniacal
waste of nitrogen in all animal waste on the
farm should be carefully saved. The man
who mixes lime with his green manure sets
the nitrogen free as ammonia. Nitrogen,
however, in connection with gypsum forms
sulphate, and is fixed until it is wanted for
the use of plant life. So if ashes be used
the nitrogen is changed into nitrate of pot
ash, simply saltpctre. This again, through
chemical change in the soil, is available as
plant food.
We have heretofore shown how in crushed
bones, which contain both nitric and phos-
phatic constituents when crushed and laid
up with ashes in the form of leach, the
phosphates are fixed and the nitrogen, of
course, and all are available as plant food
Treated in this way bones have more pow
erful immediate effect than raw bones
crushed. Nevertheless crushed bones APP
piled to the soil give up all their valuable
constituents, but gradually, yet more and
more quickly in proportion to the fineness
of the grinding. If wood ashes are to be
applied to the soil they should be kept dry
until used, and for the reason that their con-
stituents are readily soluble in water; and
no substance, until it is taken up by moist
ure, is available as plant food The proper
application, therefore, of ashes, whether
leached or unleached, is on the surface The
same is true of air-slaked lime But it is
better that these be narrowed in. Both ashes
and lime have the effect to consolidate light,
fluffy soils, and also to render more open
heavy soils

Sort Fruit and Vegetables.

The farmer and fruit grower makes
great mistake in sending his fruit and vege-
tables to market without being carefully
sorted. There is always good demand for
an article of the first quality, when the
same article if of poor quality is drug on
the market. The Philadelphia Record, on
this subject says that some seasons the mar
ket is said to be overstocked with fruit, but
there is always a demand for the best.
Strawberries have brought Soc. per quart
when inferior berries went begging at only
Dc, per quart. There are but few growers
who take the precaution to assert and grade
the fruit, but from the strawberry in early
summer to the late apples, yet it would pay
them to do so. In the height of an over
stocked market the careful assortment of
the fruit would change loss to profit. If
the price of inferior Strawberries be placed
as low as &c per quart the value of bushel
would be only &c. but if four quarts of
selected berries be sold at 10c. per quart and
the other twenty eight quarts bring only &C.
per quart, the value of the bushel will be
increased to &c., or so per cent. more than
if the berries were unassorted. There is also
another way of looking at the matter Sup
posing that among the thirty-two quarts of
berries there were twenty eight quarts of
choice fruit and four quarts of inferior ber-
ries, the four quarts would probably reduce
the price of the whole at least &c per quart.
1t would, therefore, pay to take out the in
ferior berries and sell them separately, or
even throw them away, rather than to per-
NIT them to remain with the Others. The
labor of asserting berries is not as great as
TINT Of picking them, and, if necessary, they
can be assorted when picked The apples,
peaches, pears, grapes and blackberries can
be easily assorted when picked. Fruit
growers must consider that whether they
a'sort their fruit or not the commission men
will grade it when it reaches the market.
They usually grade it by taking the inferior
fruit as a standard, and the difference be-
tween good and inferior fruit is very wide,
not gradual. Fruit is either flrst-claSs in
appearance, quality and condition, or it
must take its chances with the inferior. If
the demand be greater than the supply the
inferior fruit will bring a better price, but
1t is safe to assert that the market for
strictly choice fruit is never overstocked,
while the prices obtained are always salts
factory.

Testing Eggs.

Even though you do not use an incubator,
says the Prairie Farmer, you will find it
quite an advantage to test the eggs on the
fourth or fifth day of incubation, for sitting
hens are sometimes scarce when wanted
most, and by testing the eggs and throwing
out those that will not hatch you can make
room for more eggs. When three or four
hens have been set at the same time, all the
fertile eggs can be given to two or three of
the hens, and the others can be given fresh
lot of eggs. And even when sitting hens
are plenty, it is well to throw out the infer
tile eggs; it leaves more room in the nest for
those that remain. Testing eggs is a very
simple matter; all you have to do is to hold
the eggs, one at a time, between your eye
and a strong light, and determine by the
appearance inside whether it contains a
living embryo, a dead one or is barren
i. e., never been fortified. Eggs that con-
tain living embryo will show a small dark
spot will small red veins spreading out from
it, These veins will appear distinct, as you
turn the egg over between your thumb and
fore-finger; the dark spot will slowly turn
and rise to the spot. When the embryo is
dead the veins will usually appear broken
or indistinct, or cloudy" and sometimes
the dark spot will be found adhering to the
shell. Barren eggs will look clear like a
fresh egg.
About the egg tester, you can buy one for
25 or 30c., or you can make one that will do
just as we'll Get box large enough to

ASPARAGUS.

AS general thing as good asparagus is
grown in warm climate as in a cold one.
Where great care is taken with it, however,
excellent asparagus is grown in the South.
Mr.. John Nicholson, of Ridge Springs,
S. c., furnishes some interesting facts rela-
tive to his way of cultivating it. He says:
81 selected an acre of good light land would
yield, perhaps, 500 lbs. of seed cotton with
ordinary seasons. had it well broken up,
and then laid off my rows four feet and
checked it the same distance, so as to have
my plants stand by feet. / believe in
giving distance, though g by 5 might do as
well. At each check I dug hole IL or Is
inches deep, and i'll it deposited well-rotted
manure that from COW lot is preferable)
and rich earth to within or inches of the
top then planted my roots, being careful
to spread them evenly around the crown l
then covered them two inches deep. In the
spring, when the stocks began to appear,
threw shovel or two more of manure in
the holes and leveled them. l was careful
not to cover up stocks, as they came up very
slender. The cultivation afterwards was
with sweep and very little hoeing was
necessary, as l could pillow it both ways;
consequently the cultivation was very easy.
I could only get roots for one-sixth of my
acre. planted the seed and the next spring
finished. Thrifty plants of one years growth,
think, are far the best. Asparagus should
be heavily manured every fall, and har-
rowed OF lightly plowed in the spring. I
am trying kainit and dissolved bones this
spring Asparagus should be cut early in
the morning, not later than 10 o'clock. The
punches should be of uniform size and
weight, packed in moss, in an open crate
Asparagus is an easy crop to raise The
old plan of arranging asparagus beds by
digging them out two or three feet deep and
lining the bottom and sides with rock and
planks, and filling with manure, may do for
the garden, but it is too expensive. Expe-
rience shows that it may be raised much
easier in checks and cultivated with the
pillow. Asparagus is a certain crop and if it
has any enemies have not discovered them
yet. And in conclusion, will say it is the
most profitable crop we can grow. From

Sources of the Potato.

Mr.. William T. Scruggs, in the lSouther7,
Cutttrdto'' for June, gives some interesting
points relative to the Irish potato The late
Frof. Orion says theso-called Irish" potato
Is a native of the Andes mountains. His
statement is not original Ii was made by
tne early Spanish explorers and missionaries
early in the sixteenth century. The gene
rally accepted theory is that the potato was
introduced into Spain by the Spaniards
from the neighborhood Of Quito, and that
from Spain it soon spread into the Neither
nnds, Burgundy and Italy. How it got
INTO North America is not known, but it is
generally supposed to have been introduced
" The Spaniards soon after the conquest of

Men claimed that it was found in q wild

was introduced into Ireland for the first

uon OF the theory that il is indigenous to
Tue Alidean districts of South America, I

ana yet the Irish" potato has been used
